Eleventh Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)
A person who logically would have been called the Eleventh Doctor was the result of the regeneration of his previous incarnation.
Biography
The Eleventh Doctor came into being when his previous incarnation unwisely decided to tinker with some wiring. He then regenerated into his next incarnation when he triggered an explosion after running into another room to avoid talking to Emma or the Master. (TV: The Curse of Fatal Death)
Psychological profile
Because women terrified him, this incarnation found Emma very intimidating. He even appeared shy when talking to the Master because of his "breasts", which were really Dalek etheric beam locators. (TV: The Curse of Fatal Death)
Behind the scenes
- In an early draft of the script, this incarnation was referred to as "The Plump Doctor", and described as "unprepossessing", with a parenthetical suggestion that he should be played by Mel Smith. His final name, used in the behind-the-scenes documentary and in Doctor Who Magazine credits, was "The Shy Doctor".[1]
- Jim Broadbent previously played a rather different version of the Doctor in a sketch for an episode of Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV.
